    Fair enough. But sometimes a minority can be right and a majority can be wrong. That is why we understand arguments based on number of believers to be a fallacy. So are you saying that this guy’s comparison makes no sense? Or are you just making an argumentum ad populum?

    Furthermore, Dr. Alex Hershaft isn’t some whacko fringe lunatic. He’s had a pretty impressive career. Please just listen to what he has to say and I’d be happy to hear if you have any substantial counter argument to the comparisons he draws.
